The following from the Newburgb Daily News will be of interest to our readers who like fast motor boat work, concerning as it does, local people, from Baldwin:
"Over a measured mile course on the Newburgb side of the river late yester¬ day afternoon, Oct. 12, the speed boat "Lance," built by its owners, Hein- rjch Brothers, of Baldwins, Long Is¬ land, made the phenomenal speed of 25 miles an hour.
F. G. Hall, genera] manager, and George Seward, mechanician, of the Lackawanna Manufacturing Co., oper¬ ated the "Lance," which is 24 feet, 0 inches long, by 3 feet, 6 inches beam.
The boat, which is purely a racing machine, has a wedge-shaped hull and was brought around from Great South Bay through 25 miles of open ocean to participate in the races of the New York Motor Boat Club on Sept. 23. Like many other of the fast boats it was damaged by driftwood off lt)5th street and was withdrawn. It was afterward rtin up to Jerome's boatyard at the toot of Washington street and repaired.
On Saturday evening last a pleasant little gathering composed of the fac¬ ulty of the Archer Street Sehool and a few of their friends were entertained by Miss Elsie DuBois at her home, 207 Randall Ave. The entertainment took the form of a spinster social, nearly all of the guests being teachers in the local schoolii. Much credit is due Miss Du¬ Bois for the delightful program which she had arranged, and which, judging from the laughter and merriment which ensued, aeemed to be enjoyed by all present. The program consisted of vocal solos, recitations and games. Miss Benham and Mrs. Smith enter¬ tained tbe guests with readings and Miss Roantree with vocal solos, after which refreebments were served.
Among thoae pr«8ent were: Misses Myrtle L. Roantree, Grace S. Parker, Mary E. Baker, Laura B. Schwartz, Mabel L. Dickinson, Melisa Quinla'^, LoretU M. Knights, Hel^n £. Ronke, Florence E. Cooper, Eunice C. Fitch, Florence Robinaon, Nellie ,'Conklin, Grace Conklin, ' Abbie C. Benham, Elizabetb B. Weatel and Mrs, B. Smith and J. U. Collins.
Miss Eva Curran of Glen Cove, a former teacher in our schools, spent Saturday and Sunday with Miss Grace Walters, Pine street.

i Frank Willetts had a narrow escape j from injury Monday morning when his [horse ran away, threw him out of his I runabout, crashed into a pole and smashed up the wagon.
Willetts, who is superintendent of John J. Randall's (his father-in-law's) property, "Woodcleft Beach," was giving some instructions to men laying cement sidewalks along Atlantic ave¬ nue, when his horse became frightened at a trolley and ran away. The owner was thrown out and the horse continued along Atlantic avenue to the corner of Roosevelt avenue, when, in trying to make the turn, crashed into the tele¬ phone pole tearing off one of the wheels. A short distance fnrther the horse ^became entangled and stopped after the light wagon had been com¬ pletely demolished. Willetts was not injured.
Kntries for the two men pool tourna¬ ment at the Freeport Club have closed, ten teams having entered, as follows: Staats 40, Sawyer 75, total 115; Hart 80, Sproul 40, total 120; Munzinger 75, Earle 50, total 125; E. Thompson 35, Cross 40, total 75; J. White 30, H. White 30, total GO: Albin Johnson 40, Dunbar 45, total 85; Rhodes 40, Kennedy 55, total 95; Finch 40, Suth¬ erland 45, total 85; George Wallace 40, Grace 55, total 95; W. Miller, jr., 55, W. Thompson 40, total 95.
Two-men team bowling tournament entries will close October 29. The committee are desirous of having a large number of teams entered in this tournament.
The committee have decided that the team which shall represent the club this year in all contests with otheo clubs shall be picked from those whose games shall show the best average dur¬ ing the season's bowling. The record ot all games played, tournament or otherwise, will be kept and the five men having the highest average shall lie named as the club team; the next highest five as substitutes. It will be necessary for a man to have bowled at least 15 games to cjiialify for a place on the team. As negotiations are al¬ ready under way for a series of games with both Rockville Centre and Amity¬ ville, men desiring a place on the team had better get busy. Having obtained a place on the team does not necessar¬ ily mean that the five men first named will bowl the whole season through, for each month a new average will be '. taken and from the records as shown at that time the five highest will be named for the following month.
Paul Anderson of this village claims he has designed an aeroplane which will be able to fly in a strong wind without capsizing. Its main feature is the balancing and steering. The motor and seats for two are suspended a distance below the centre of the wings, making it a nataral balance to enable the plane to rise. The platform wherein is placed motor and seats is movable around an axle; it swings backwards when the plane goes up. At no time does the load weigh any¬ more than its natural weight, except sideways where the weight of gravity must be added. Another good feature is to have the motor right in front of the mechanic^ he being able to start and attend to same under flight. He has also placed a front rudder on his monoplane, said rudder faitving two movements, up and dewn, and side¬ ways, it taking the piace of the per-1 pendicular and horizontal rudders of the Wright and Curtis planes. Mr. Anderson has associated himself with an engineer, Mr. A. Nielsen, of N^w York, and has shown the plans to prominent airmen, who were very fav- oraby irbpressed by the idea. Mr. Anderson is now looking ' for financial aid to promof.e the "Seagull."

The boat, which is purely a racing machine, has a wedge-shaped hull and was brought around from Great South Bay through 25 miles of open ocean to participate in the races of the New York Motor Boat Club on Sept. 23. Like many other of the fast boats it was damaged by driftwood off lt)5th street and was withdrawn. It was afterward rtin up to Jerome's boatyard at the toot of Washington street and repaired.
On Saturday evening last a pleasant little gathering composed of the fac¬ ulty of the Archer Street Sehool and a few of their friends were entertained by Miss Elsie DuBois at her home, 207 Randall Ave. The entertainment took the form of a spinster social, nearly all of the guests being teachers in the local schoolii. Much credit is due Miss Du¬ Bois for the delightful program which she had arranged, and which, judging from the laughter and merriment which ensued, aeemed to be enjoyed by all present. The program consisted of vocal solos, recitations and games. Miss Benham and Mrs. Smith enter¬ tained tbe guests with readings and Miss Roantree with vocal solos, after which refreebments were served.
Among thoae pr«8ent were: Misses Myrtle L. Roantree, Grace S. Parker, Mary E. Baker, Laura B. Schwartz, Mabel L. Dickinson, Melisa Quinla'^, LoretU M. Knights, Hel^n £. Ronke, Florence E. Cooper, Eunice C. Fitch, Florence Robinaon, Nellie ,'Conklin, Grace Conklin, ' Abbie C. Benham, Elizabetb B. Weatel and Mrs, B. Smith and J. U. Collins.
Miss Eva Curran of Glen Cove, a former teacher in our schools, spent Saturday and Sunday with Miss Grace Walters, Pine street.

i Frank Willetts had a narrow escape j from injury Monday morning when his [horse ran away, threw him out of his I runabout, crashed into a pole and smashed up the wagon.
Willetts, who is superintendent of John J. Randall's (his father-in-law's) property, "Woodcleft Beach," was giving some instructions to men laying cement sidewalks along Atlantic ave¬ nue, when his horse became frightened at a trolley and ran away. The owner was thrown out and the horse continued along Atlantic avenue to the corner of Roosevelt avenue, when, in trying to make the turn, crashed into the tele¬ phone pole tearing off one of the wheels. A short distance fnrther the horse ^became entangled and stopped after the light wagon had been com¬ pletely demolished. Willetts was not injured.

Two-men team bowling tournament entries will close October 29. The committee are desirous of having a large number of teams entered in this tournament.
The committee have decided that the team which shall represent the club this year in all contests with otheo clubs shall be picked from those whose games shall show the best average dur¬ ing the season's bowling. The record ot all games played, tournament or otherwise, will be kept and the five men having the highest average shall lie named as the club team; the next highest five as substitutes. It will be necessary for a man to have bowled at least 15 games to cjiialify for a place on the team. As negotiations are al¬ ready under way for a series of games with both Rockville Centre and Amity¬ ville, men desiring a place on the team had better get busy. Having obtained a place on the team does not necessar¬ ily mean that the five men first named will bowl the whole season through, for each month a new average will be '. taken and from the records as shown at that time the five highest will be named for the following month.
Paul Anderson of this village claims he has designed an aeroplane which will be able to fly in a strong wind without capsizing. Its main feature is the balancing and steering. The motor and seats for two are suspended a distance below the centre of the wings, making it a nataral balance to enable the plane to rise. The platform wherein is placed motor and seats is movable around an axle; it swings backwards when the plane goes up. At no time does the load weigh any¬ more than its natural weight, except sideways where the weight of gravity must be added. Another good feature is to have the motor right in front of the mechanic^ he being able to start and attend to same under flight. He has also placed a front rudder on his monoplane, said rudder faitving two movements, up and dewn, and side¬ ways, it taking the piace of the per-1 pendicular and horizontal rudders of the Wright and Curtis planes. Mr. Anderson has associated himself with an engineer, Mr. A. Nielsen, of N^w York, and has shown the plans to prominent airmen, who were very fav- oraby irbpressed by the idea. Mr. Anderson is now looking ' for financial aid to promof.e the "Seagull."

The fire council is to consider some way of improving the experimental system of second alarms. According to present orders some of the compan¬ ies do not go out unless a second alarm is sounded for certain districts. Either the second alarm or recall is supposed to be given at once, and .the recall makes trouble, as naturally firemen from other companies which are sup¬ posed to answer the tirst alarm, think the fire does not amount to much when they hear the recall and do not answer if they have not reached their house, and a company on its way cannot pay Services Sunday in the Church of the any attention to the recall, but must transfiguration are: S a. m..
